All you need's a good excuse
To forgive pain and accept abuse
Do you see the in-between
It holds the hope and makes you bleed
And all the times I took the fall
Won't be enough to change it all
I admit I took control
You're my little prisoner
Walk away
But it's so much easier this way
I will play the villain
You will try to slip away
You will play the victim
I'll watch you hesitate
I won't let you go
My grip is far too strong
And you won't know what to do
So you just play along
You've got no one to blame
Only promises made
No matter what I do
You'll always cover for me
You're so pathetic
It's such a shame
You may hate me now
But things will never change
Walk away
But it's so much easier this way
I will play the villain
You will try to slip away
You will play the victim
I'll watch you hesitate
I won't let you go
My grip is far too strong
And you won't know what to do
So you just play along
Play along
You could save yourself
It's all your fault
You could walk away
But this is what you want
I will play the villain
If it's for your health
Deep down you really know
You did this to yourself
I will play the villain
You will try to slip away
You will play the victim
I'll watch you hesitate
I can't let you go
My grip is far too strong
And you won't know what to do
So you just play along
I will play the villain
You will try to slip away
You will play the victim
I'll watch you hesitate
I won't let you go
My grip is far too strong
And you won't know what to do
So you just play along
Play along
